Question

Based on the standard Pauling scale, what is the correct decreasing order of electronegativity for the elements N, P, C, and Si?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Pauling electronegativity values are approximately: $N (3.0)$, $C (2.5)$, $P (2.1)$, and $Si (1.8)$. Thus, the correct decreasing order is $N > C > P > Si$.
